These new names, Commanders and Admirals remind me of the USFL teams of the 80's. Federals, Generals... just total cheap crap.
I didn't like Redwolves but I would have come around on it since so much of the fanbase loved it. It is waaaaaaaaaay better than what's being thrown out there. Just makes it more difficult to stay loyal to this team.
Just name the team the Washington Clowns. Make the logo of Dan and Tayna w/ clown noses.
I wonder if Dan will be in NY on 2/2. If he is I would love to take the train up there and get near where he is standing so I can heckle the living shit out of him. Yeah I am that kind of petty.

Wizards come from a contest and was not the result of a multi-year internal deliberation. But I agree, the name isn't very good.
I wish Leonsis would go back to the Bullets so bad. Abe is dead and his family no longer owns the team so not sure why they still are the Wizards. I have a Bullets hat and wear it all the time.

If it's the Commanders you know what the shorthand name will be... the Commies.
Wanna go see the Commies game on Sunday? How'd the Commies do last night?
The Washington Commies? Defeats the whole purpose.

When Ted assumed control of the team, he invited fans to email him with suggestions and promised he would answer all. I did just that and suggested he bring back Bullets. He (or one of his minions) answered. He did not say no, but that they had some other work to do first and then would consider it.
I am perplexed as to why I have not heard back from Jason Wright. :saywhat:
In this day and age the name bullets is 100% dead and buried.

We get it.. the color Black will be part of the new brand..
I've always thought black alternate uniforms were overrated and overdone but I reserve the right to see these first.
Black alternates I hate... Jets, Eagles, and Cardinals. Just doesn't work for them.

How about just the Comms?
I mean there really isn't a shortened name for Commanders, so if people say Commies they're just going to sound dumb.
